Some people love packing, some people dread it, we all have to do it. Packing for your trip can be very stressful if you leave it to the last minute. Here are some tips to help make packing a little smoother.

Smart Packing Tips

When we think of anything related to traveling, we know that planning is key. Organizing expert Marie Kondo shares her wisdom on the art of packing: “Start early – a week in advance gives you plenty of time to pick up the last-minute essentials.” – she says in her article about how to pack a suitcase.

Know Your Weather and Schedule

Therefore, a great starting point is to do a bit of research on the weather for the days you will be staying. Adding to that, think about what kind of things you will do. Are you staying outside or inside most of the time? Are you planning on playing any sports during your travel? Is there any formal occasion planned? These are all important things to have in mind when you do your packing.

Spring in Las Vegas is overall very dry. You can plan your packing without fear of getting sweaty during the day. In March, there are only two rainy days on average. Think that is too little rain? According to historical averages, it rains on only one day in April and ZERO days in May.

Temperatures are mild in Sin City from March to May. Thus, there might be no need for packing your heavy outdoor gear. The high-temperature average in March is 22°C, and 27°C in April. It does get a little chilly with average low temperatures in these months being 4°C and 7°C, respectively. It gets a little warmer in May as the historical average high temperature is 32°C, and it usually does not get much colder than 12°C.

Spring is considered the best time to visit the city, along with the fall months. Taking the weather into consideration, you can think of what you would like to do. With that in mind, you can plan your outfits and get on with your packing.

Why Pack Light?

So you are aware of the weather and have your travel schedule in hand. Then, you start packing and realize you have filled three big suitcases for a week-long trip. Well, if you happen to be a fashion blogger, then it is part of your job. Otherwise, you might want to consider taking some items off your bags for a number of reasons.

First of all, there is the weight of the bags themselves. Of course, you may choose rolling suitcases, so the weight is off your shoulders. Nevertheless, you will have to lift them at least once to get them off the baggage carousel. Besides, having fewer bags will help speed up your journey.

Secondly, bear in mind that there is a great chance you will shop at your destination. According to a survey by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority in 2019, 67% of Las Vegas visitors do some shopping. So, it is smart to save some space in your bags for your purchases.
